Hi
Recentely I visited one school in Dubai , Gulf
Model School (SSLC syllabus)
The management and staff was not much intrested
in giving LINUX facilty to the studetns , they say
that same thing they can do in Windows , and why they
need to do LINUX again
I voluntered for giving a free training to students
and staff , they were not at all intrested
Thanks
